My Ichiro for his Greinke and Wells?

Postby eneric » Fri May 21, 2010 8:44 am

In a 13 team mixed roto league. I'm up towards the top of the leader board in runs scored ONLY trailing first place by 2 runs. I've got a 6 in stolen bags ONLY trailing the leader by 7 steals. My average is weak but that's deceptive being that I have McCann, Hill and Span who started off slow. I think with McCann, Hill, Jeter, Youkilis and Lind my average should climb soon, currently I sit with a team average of .259 thanks to Kyle Blanks, Mark Reynolds & David Ortiz. I've currently got a 4 out of 13 in ERA and 7 of 13 in whip. My pitching isn't BAD, I've got CC, Price, Romero, Baker, Sheets, Morrow, Cahill & Latos. Is this an offer I shouldn't refuse?

Leave a link and I'll be glad to help you out, thanks in advance.

hm, from the name value only it's an acceptable offer.

Ichiro: SB+high .AVG + Runs
Wells: RBI+HR

subtract Ichiros SB+.AVG from your scoring and see what place it will be- then decide
Wells is hitting a bit over his average but it will be .280-.290 I guess
Its okay to cut short in some categories if you're not falling from the 1st to the 12 place.
Top 3 would be nice

Greincke would be a nice bonus
It would be nice to know what you did with our advice - so please write a short reply

Um, yeah, I don't think you need to agonize about that too much. Just pull the trigger and go home happy and secure in the knowledge that you got by far the best of the deal. ;-D

yeah, this is a pretty easy one to say yes to...ichiro's runs/steals/avg are nice but you wont lose much average here and the power pickup compensates somewhat. the other thing that compensates somewhat is that you are getting greinke in a deal that would still be good with a much worse pitcher. no question about it imo, you'll do better in like 5 categories from this and all you give up is a little bit in a couple
